My guess, too. This is why it's not worth it to take the van to the
dealer. Gee whiz, folks, just bring a couple of friends, your floor
jack, screwdriver, 14mm crescent wrench, a funnel, garden hose, and
axle stands. Think about it, $100 for a rip-off or $12 for the beer
for your friends. ($8 if you drink Beast.)

I will admit that the job is hard enough that you need to offer quite
a few beers to your friends. Just do it AFTERWARDS. :)
